I’d give this 100 stars if I could.

What a wonderful concept that is beautifully executed! The illustrations are adorable, the story was cute and it got my kids fired up and excited to be ninja elves. The 50 missions are good deeds for them to do, ranging from things they can do by themself (pay a compliment to everyone you see today) to things they’ll need a little help with (deliver treats to your local firefighters). I love the focus on giving rather than receiving and the emphasis on being kind. A much better idea than having a snitch elf in your house...and you don’t have to remember to do anything every night!

Great Book

Honestly, I only bought this book because it was about ninjas and my son is currently obsessed with ninjas. I did not read the book description at all. I was pleasantly surprised to see the book has a great message. And, in the back of the book, there are a bunch on ninja elf missions for your kid/the reader to accept. These missions give kids assignments to do good deeds, like donate their used clothing to kids in need, etc. In addition, the actual story is fun and cute and my son loves it. It is a book he has requested multiple times for story time in the last few weeks since he got it for Christmas.

Ninjas and Kindness meet ~ How can you go wrong for kids?!?

I love this story and so did my students. I only wish more of the kind deeds weren’t home based and could be applied to/done in my classroom. Great message!!!

Cute message and entertaining

This book has a fantastic message to supplement the traditional North Pole Story. My daughter loves completing the missions and reads it multiple times at the holidays. It has encouraged her to write letters to friends and teachers as well as be creative with ways to help neighbors and in the community. We have the version with the stuffed sensei and it is soooo cute. This would make a great gift too.

Promote kindness and good deeds up to Christmas

My family LOVED this! We decided against the Elf on the Shelf and went with this! It was so positive and fulfilling for my kids (7 & 5) to work to accomplish the missions. Get it! You won’t regret it!

Excellent concept. Well written and love the "missions"

This book was the perfect addition to our holiday reading. It accentuates giving, the spirit of doing for others without recognition. My 8 year old loved it and was eager to get to work right away! Hoping my 3 year old will catch on better next Christmas. The book ends by having you complete the "missions" before Christmas. It's a great concept but wish there was a way to do this throughout the year.
